"On Golden Pond"
Dec 14, 2018 15:31:35 #
Caught this on my way home from work early one morning. I drove by this almost every day for 25 years. This was taken with an inexpensive, low megapixel, early digital, but I think the IQ holds up fairly well. I guess it could be classified as a "seascape", however, it's only a pond.

The cattails add a lot of interest for me, as do the last wisps of mist rising from the water. A gentle, contemplative scene, very appealing in the golden light.

"Pondscape", to coin a word. Nice image.

Great photo capturing a nice set of layers creating a pastoral scene--really pleasing to look at.

Love the light in this image. I can see why you stopped to capture this scene. I can remember an article I read several years ago now where the author said that a good landscape image should contain as many of the below listed items as possible:
1. Fresh water
2. Plains
3. Trees
4. Distance with mountains
5. Pathways
Looks like this photo contains at least a couple of these. In addition you have a nice image here that contains what I feel are essential elements to any successful landscape image and those are an interesting foreground, middle ground and background. These are also in your image. I say a job well done. Only question I have is why did it take you 25 years? 😀

Well, it didn't really. If you click on my name and then go to "Topics Posted", go back a few years and I think I may have posted this before. However, with this new "Landscape" section I thought it might fit in here.
Interesting story about this particular slide. It was always one of my favorites, but once when I was projecting it, it got stuck in the old Sawyer Slide Projector and I scratched it pretty badly getting it out. But I never threw it away. Years later, digital photography comes along and so does Lightroom with its Spot Removal Tool. WOW, the things you can do by scanning and then PPing an old slide. Original scan of the scratched slide posted below.
Oops. Sorry, wrong picture. I thought your comment was about the photo from Flåm, Norway. Please disregard as I can't delete this post.
